Author's Chapter Notes:

i was writing this chapter and never expected it to be this long. i haven't actually finished the whole chapter and this is just the first half. i might finish the second half of the chapter soon but i'm also trying to write another chapt of "tales of a shrinking sister". i jst have to figue out how to write it.

Jane was sitting in the reception hall. she had been sitting there for the past twenty minutes waiting for that lousy reception woman to return. "Please wait, be right back" that was what the sign had said and Jane was wondering what the definition of "be right back" was as she sat in the empty reception, tapping her foot up and down impatiently.
What had happened at the pool had struck Jane to be very peculiar but she had quickly brushed that strangeness off with a simple explanation: the pool wasn't really open and the clerks didn't realize this until moments ago causing them to pack up and leave for the day. If that was true then that means they just ditched her family here with no explanation or anything and didn't even give them a refund.
However, as much as this explanation comforted her it didn't explain the eerie fact that there were bags, towels, floaties and various other belongings strewn across the pooling area as if it had been filled with people until just recently. How could this be explained? Was it a prank by the pool company to trick the first family that entered to try and scare them or something? Maybe there was an emergency and that caused everyone to evacuate. No, if they had then Jane would have seen the mob leave the building or at least heard something.
Finally, Jane concluded that this must be some kind of prank or mistake by the pooling company. They were trying to do a publicity stunt to get more attention or something, that would explain everything. Jane forced her mind to accept this theory because the other explanation could simply not be possible. Being a smart woman Jane refused to believe in the superstitious or anything magical and refused to accept that this could have been some crazy supernatural phenomenon until she witnesses it with her own eyes.
At last, Jane was forced to accept that the clerk would not be coming back a decided to go and rejoin her family. If this really was a publicity stunt then she wasn't going to give them what they want and start panicking or causing any kind of scene. She'll go back to the pool and relax with her family until they decide to leave. The company can try and fool the next family which walks in. Although this explanation still didn't explain everything Jane refused to let her logical mind consider anything else.
Walking back through the reception lobby Jane made her way towards the pooling area to relax with her family. However, when she passed the "bathroom" sign her gut let out a faint groan letting her know that this would be a good time to relieve herself. She pushed open the door and walked into the bright tiled room which was the scene of a typical public bathroom. Water was covering the floor and the walls didn't look too clean either giving two important pieces of information. One, this place hadn't been cleaned yet and two, someone would have to have been here to make this mess. So where did everyone go?
While pondering on this Jane's gut let out another grumble reminding her what was important at present. Looking up and down the stalls she saw that every one of them was occupied despite the fact the the entire room was quiet and most likely empty. 
Some little bastard had locked each of the doors and then slid out from under the walls just so they could be annoying to anyone trying to use the bathroom. Jane groaned in anger while she got on both knees and slid her head under the closest door. Just as she had expected the stall was completely vacant with no sign that anyone was or even had been in here. She pulled the rest of her body under the door and stood upright, stretching her back from that little bit of yoga she just did.
Looking down at the seat she sighed in disgust when she saw it was covered in water from someone who had obviously just been in the pool and had not wiped it away. Didn't anyone know how to clean up after themselves? Jane grabbed some toilet paper and wiped down the seat removing the water that covered it.
She was so annoyed that she didn't even notice the tiny bug that got swept up and soaked into the toilet paper along with the clear liquid that surrounded it. Although it wouldn't even matter if she did, it was only a bug what would Jane do if she did see it? Probably recieve the same fate as it did now and that was to be thrown into the toilet bowl when the seat was finally clean.
Satisfied with the job she had done, Jane pulled down her bikini bottoms and placed her shapely behind on the toilet seat and prepared for what was to come.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like in the reception area and the pool, the toilet was also hit with this freak phenomenon that mysteriously shrunk people. However, the toilet was possibly the worst place you wanted to be if you shrunk, and for good reason.
Being the girls bathroom the room was obviously filled with woman and due to the large number of people attending the pool on this hot day there was about nine people occupying it. Having one person in each stall, the other two were at the sinks washing their hands and chatting as they happened to be close friends. 
When the phenomenon hit chaos insured within the bathroom and the once proud, full sized women found themselves no more than the height of ants. Being so tiny caused horrific problems within the toilets and most of the woman died in rather short times due to this.
In the first stall was a young, coloured beauty called Mary who now found herself shrunk to minuscule proportions. The major problem was that she was sitting on the toilet which caused her to fall in when she shrunk. When she surfaced in the strange lake she had no idea what had happened and didn't realize that she had been shrunken and was now trapped within the toilet she was just using.
Thankfully for her she only had to use the bathroom to urinate and so the toilet bowl was filled with the light colour and smell of pee. To the shrunken woman it felt like she was swimming in a small ocean of foul smelling substance and soon realized (after tasting the yellow liquid) that it was urine. Finally her brain put two and two together and she learned that she was shrunken in her own bodily waste.
Mary attempted to swim to the side of the bowl but her arms grew steadily tired until she found it extraordinarily difficult to simply hold her own weight above the 'water'. However, she refused to resign to defeat because if she did she would surely drown in her own filth and that was completely unaccepptable. She had a whole life to live and did not want it to end in a toilet bowl. If she could just discover what shrunk her she might find a way of unshrinking herself.
But the desire to survive and live on is someimes not good enough to overcome the circumstances which threaten a life. Despite her constant swimming for the shallow area of the toilet in a hope she could avoid drowning her body could simply not take the strain. Within a few more minutes her arms began to spasm from exhaustion and her breathing had become irregular from the intense exercise. Slowly her body gave in and the young beauty found herself slowly drowning in the toilet bowl she had just been using.

This scene was similar to other scenarios which took place within the other toilet stall however those victims mostly died in far worse and messier ways. The true danger, however, came from a repeated stomping which seemed to grow closer to the bathroom. Many of the stranded, shrunken women thought that this was possibly their salvation if that thumping turned out to be a person here to save them.
The noise grew louder and louder, vibrating across the tiled floor until finally the giant door guarding the bathroom was puled open. A normal sized person wouldn't have noticed this but the room actually had a slight pressure built up which many bathroom develop. Upon opening the door a small air current was pulled out of the bathroom relieving it of this built up pressure and even if a normal sized person wouldn't detect this the tiny miniatures who were stranded on the floor surely did.
As soon as that door was pulled open the tiny woman, Cindy, who positioned near the sinks felt a gust of wind equivilent to that of a small tornado. it picked her up with ease and threw her into the air, dragging her across the room like a piece of lint caught in a breeze. Slowly the winds calmed down and the tiny flake of a girl was dropped heavily to the floor. Luckily for her the was a "small" puddle waiting to catch her.
Landing in the swamp size pool of a puddle the girl resurfaced just in time to see what had caused such a breeze. A creature which could only be described as a titan was making her way into the room with steps which were causing earthquakes with each impact. She didn't look like she was here to help anybody and seems quite oblivious to the tiny girls presence.
And that was when the stranded girl realized it. If the giantess wasn't aware of their presence then they were in grave danger from her. And with her stuck in this giant pool of water she would never be able to get out of the way of this goddess. She would be stomped flat and the older woman would never have known what she had done.
The the giantess started moving. She passed the threshold of the door and appear to stopped for a second as she surveyed the room. Was she looking for any shrunken people? Maybe she really was here to help them. But as it turned out she wasn't as her expression turned into disgust at the filth of the bathroom. Cindy continued to swim for her life but it seemed it do nothing, the water was everywhere and it was so cold. And finally the much older woman to her first steps towards where Cindy was located.
Being nearly microscopic she didn't have a chance in the world of outrunning the larger woman but she at least hopped she can scramble out of her path. The giantess strode across the bathroom, each step causing significant tidal waves for the miniature within the water. Finally the goddess was only one more step away from ending Cindy's life unknowingly. She looked up into the sky as she saw the gigantic foot of the 40 year old descending upon her like the power of some wrathful god.
Screaming, Cindy attempted to swim frantically but knew that it was all in vain until the foot made contact. Giant waves rocketed away from the almighty force of flesh and it would have appeared that the insignificant woman would have surely died from such an impact. But that was not the case and it seemed her frantic movements really did make a difference. If she had not tried to swim she would have been crushed under the ball of the Goliath's foot but because she moved those crucial "inches" she now found herself under the safe spot of the toe section.
Cindy opened her eyes expecting to see some bright light of the after life but was instead shown pitch darkness which was the flesh of this woman's toe. She was 'lucky' enough to find herself wedged between the first and second toe and thanked all the gods for sparing her life. At least that was until she discovered the smell. Being super tiny and trapped under a foot seemed to amplify the horrific smells which came from this foot and now Cindy was being assaulted by these noxious fumes.
This was a severe problem because half a second later the foot moved ack into the air to take another step ... and it carried Cindy along with it. She was stuck to the foot flesh, adhered by the water and unable to escape as she was lifted up and down at incredible speeds. Surely she could not survive this for long.

Chapter End Notes:
